Discuss how war is presented in “Guests of the Nation” or “Soldier’s Home.” How is war described and shown? How does it affect the characters? What is the nature of war itself, likened to?
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read the following sections in your textbook: 9.1 to 9.6 and 9.9 in Chapter 9: Mass-Storage Structure. Finally, read the Operating System – Scheduling Algorithms tutorial (Links to an external site.). Part 1: To complete this assignment, consider the following scenario: A disk drive has 300 cylinders, numbered 0 to 299. The drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 51, and the previous request was at cylinder 56. The pending requests are received in the following order: 72, 56, 103, 111, 17, 189, 236, 198, and 88. Describe how the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests for each of the following disk-scheduling algorithms. (Perhaps you create a diagram similar to the diagrams in Section 9.4 to support your explanation.) FCFS SSTF SCAN Calculate the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves for each of the above disk-scheduling algorithms. Compare the algorithms and explain which algorithm is the most efficient (the shortest distance) for this scenario. Write a minimum of 250 words. Part 2: Compare the algorithms and determine which is the fairest for the next process in the queue. Explain why this algorithm will always be the fairest disk-scheduling algorithm. Describe an example of circumstances where fairness would be an important goal. Describe a scenario where it would be important that the operating system be unfair. Write a minimum of 250 words.
To complete this assignment, consider the following scenario: Eight unique processes (which terminate in the following order: 21 KB, 77 KB, 199 KB, 380 KB, 489 K¬B, 212 KB, 139 KB, and 302 KB) must be placed into ten memory partitions organized in the following order: 150 KB, 275 KB, 425 KB, 300 KB, 80 KB, 117 KB, 500 K¬B, 35 KB, 313 KB, and 269 KB. Explain step by step how each of the dynamic storage allocation algorithms (first-fit, best-fit, and worst-fit) would place the given processes within the given memory partitions. Identify the memory partitions that remain after placing each process. Visually illustrate each algorithm with a chart or diagram. An example diagramPreview the document was created in Excel, but you may also choose to use a graphics editing software (PowerPoint, Paint, PhotoShop, etc.) or upload a photo of a hand-drawn sketch. Compare the algorithms and explain which model makes the most efficient use of memory and which model executes the quickest.
Discuss the Impact of Professional Development on Faculty Practice in the Online Learning setting”
For this assignment, review the section in Applied Ballistics (SDI, 2016) titled “Understanding Shot” and conduct additional research as necessary. It may also be useful to review the section on “Shotgun Propellants”. Summarize the concept of “pellet deformation”. Consider the following: What are some of the reasons a pellet deforms when it is fired from a shotgun? What effect does deformation of the pellet have on the shot or pattern? What materials deform more readily than others? If there are some materials that do not deform, should shotgunners stick to only those types of pellet? What can be done to prevent deformation of shotgun pellets? What is “buffering” and how might that help?
Write a case study of successful black women in business.
Recruiting and Retaining Top Talent You learned about human resources management this week, including its many functions and responsibilities. This assignment will have you analyze one important aspect of human resources management. Part One: Please review the following resources: Strategies for Retaining Employees and Minimizing Turnover by Sarah K. Yazinski https://hr.blr.com/whitepapers/Staffing-Training/Employee-Turnover/Strategies-for-Retaining-Employees-and-Minimizing- How to Determine If Your Employee Turnover is Recruiting’s or HR’s Fault (And How to Fix It) by Paul Petrone https://business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/blog/2015/08/employee-retention-turnover-hr-recruiting-fault Employee Recruitment Strategies: How to Attract (& Retain) Top Talent by Margaret Jacoby https://www.huffpost.com/entry/employee-recruitment-stra_b_8823994 Why Retention Will Be The Biggest Talent Challenge Of 2017 by Lars Schmidt https://www.forbes.com/sites/larsschmidt/2016/12/16/why-retention-will-be-the-biggest-talent-challenge-of-2017/#465db24c6ae4 Part Two: For this assignment, you are going to analyze one of the most important aspects of human resources management, recruiting and retaining top employee talent. Please provide a list of recommended strategies which should be used by human resources professionals to recruit and retain top employee talent. Based upon your studies of leadership, what is the role of a leader or leaders in recruiting and retaining top employee talent? What has been your own experience related to recruitment practices, as to what you have found to be effective?
Leadership and Decision-Making One of the assigned textbook chapters this week addressed leadership and decision-making, which you will analyze further for this assignment. Part One: Please review the following resources: 4 Ways For Leaders to Make a Decision by Brent Gleeson https://www.forbes.com/sites/brentgleeson/2012/11/07/4-ways-for-leaders-to-make-a-decision/#38752c244d4a 6 Ways to Make Hard Decisions Easier as a Leader by Jayson DeMers https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/294131 This is How the Most Successful Leaders Make Tough Decisions by Simon Berg https://fortune.com/2015/12/09/successful-leaders-tough-decisions/ Part Two: Every leader must make decisions, some which are routine in nature, and others which are critical to the operations of the organization or business. How can a leader make tough or critical decisions more effectively? Describe a recommended decision-making strategy or process you would use as a leader. Would you use this process or strategy with programmed decisions, non-programmed decisions, or both, and why?
Managing vs. Leading This week you continued to study the nature of management, along with the different types of managers. Now for this discussion, you will consider the difference between managing a business and leading a business. Part One: Please review the following resource: Leader or Manager? These 10 Important Distinctions Can Help You Out by James Kerr https://www.inc.com/james-kerr/leading-v-managing-ten-important-distinctions-that-can-help-you-to-become-better.html Part Two: Please answer the following: What are the key differences between a manager and a leader? Can an effective manager also be an effective leader? Why or why no
